Blexbolex: Illustration

French illustrator Blexbolex is killing it with the illustrations for his latest book Dog Crime, published by Nobrow Press. Inspired by whodunit films from the ’50s and ’60s, Dog Crime is about a man running for his life as he’s entangled in a heated conspiracy. Printed using three spot colors, Blexbolex’s illustrations are bright and punchy as they use an array of overlaid forms.

In addition to Dog Crime, Blexbolex also has another publication from Nobrow entitled Abecederia, which is about two bank robbers fleeing the law after a major heist. He has also illustrated a myriad of other books, including French cookbook I Know How to Cook and children’s picture books Leute (People) and his award winning L’imagier des Gens (The Illustrator of People).

Thanks for sharing this interesting find! The color restriction creates quite a challenge for the illustrator when depicting such a variety of scenes. I really enjoy the simplicity of the cook book illustrations, the lack of detail while showing so much detail. Likewise the designs from L’imagier des Gens are incredibly simplistic yet appealing and artistic.
